Saṃlīnā (संलीना) refers to “being absorbed (in bliss)”, according to the Jayadrathayāmala: one of the earliest and most extensive Tantric sources of the Kālīkrama system.—Accordingly, as Bhairava teaches the Goddess about his inner state: “[...] Then that supreme goddess who devours time issued forth, absorbed in the bliss of her own (innate) bliss [i.e., svānandānanda-saṃlīnā], powerful with the contemplation of (her) own nature. Established on the plane of consciousness and the unconscious, she is between the plane of consciousness and the unconscious. (She is) the goddess who is the Great Void, the Transmental who devours time”.—(cf. Kandacakra)

Saṃlīna (संलीन) refers to “being dissolved (into a state of bliss)”, according to the Netratantra 3.13.—Accordingly: [while describing the practice of concentration (dhāraṇā)]: “‘I do not exist and no other exists’ ought to be meditated on [until] no [thing] is experienced in [that void]. The mind is dissolved (saṃlīna) into a state of bliss and attains Samādhi”.

Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).

Saṃlīna (संलीन) refers to “becoming submerged”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.16 (“The head of Gaṇeśa is chopped off”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] O sage, on seeing Viṣṇu in that manner, the two Śaktis handed over their power to Gaṇeśa and became submerged. When the two Śaktis became submerged (saṃlīna), Gaṇeśa with more strength infused in him hurled the iron club in the place where Viṣṇu stood. Viṣṇu strenuously dodged the same after remembering Śiva, the great lord, favourably disposed towards His devotees. [...]”.
